MATH: I reviewed fractions, decimals, and percentages using a game format. We did this the whole time, and it was fun! (Thanks to Mrs. Burraston who volunteered to run the show for 20 minutes before lunch.) No homework tonight. Tomorrow we'll go over the same material again and again until they get it. It's sinking in.
LANGUAGE ARTS: Students worked on their Autobiographies during Power Hour. I decided to stop their stories at High School graduation. We need to start spending time reviewing for end-of-year tests.
Spelling test tomorrow over week #35 words (National Parks). Remind kids to capitalize them.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Students were printing their 10 facts, cutting them out, and gluing them to construction paper matting for placement on their posters. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR 5TH GRADE STUDENT HAS A REGULAR POSTER (not the 3 sided science fair ones) BY MONDAY! Tomorrow I'll teach them how to use the grid drawing system to draw their hero pictures. ALL STUDENTS WERE ASKED TO HAVE A PICTURE OF THEIR HERO TODAY, BUT MANY DIDN'T DO THEIR HOMEWORK! Therefore, we couldn't start today. I'm showing the drawing technique tomorrow, ready or not. Please see the "Social Studies" link on the Student side of my website to know the deadlines.
GRAMMAR: Students completed and turned in a double-sided worksheet (#5 & #6). This taught differences between homonyms like pain/pane, doesn't/don't, hear/here, etc. I'll grade them tomorrow.
